The Torres Strait is more prominent in that and influx of ASSI were taken into the Torres Strait for pearling and b\u00eache-de-mer industries as well as through the London Missionary Society from 1870 onwards. The most significant ASSI \u2018colony\u2019 is on Mua (St Pauls) Island, established by the Anglican Church in the 1900s.<\/p>\n<h2>Servant Or Slave: Stunning New Documentary Exposes Australia\u2019s Stolen Wages History<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Servant or Slave - Coming Soon\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/156183636?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>To read the New matilda story click <a href=\"https:\/\/newmatilda.com\/2016\/08\/02\/servant-slave-stunning-new-documentary-exposes-australias-stolen-wages-history\/\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video interview by Indigenous filmmaker Steven McGregor with Emelda Davis about NSW Entrepreneur Benjamin Boyd for Servant or Slave &#8211; NITV documentary.
